The image shows two men standing on a paved surface. The man on the left is facing slightly sideways and appears to be speaking. He has a bald head with some hair on the sides and distinct facial features. He is dressed in a light-colored shirt, a dark waistcoat, trousers, and a jacket. The man on the right is facing forward with his head turned to the left. He has distinct facial features, a neatly groomed beard, and a full head of hair. He is wearing a dark suit with a waistcoat and a cravat. The background includes trees or bushes and a flight of stairs to the left. The sketchy background features handwritten text below and above the framed picture area.
